Wasn't one for a high shot on Tomkins - nothing wrong with that in my book.
The shoulder was an interesting one as both Singleton and the young Wigan prop both did the same thing yet when the ball carrier dips his shoulder there is no offence committed - bit of an anomaly there.
Can't recall the third offhand - remind me - but I do recall him sticking it to O'Loughlin who had to leave the field and took no further part.
Singleton remains for me the closest thing Leeds have got left to being a damaging forward.
Singleton damaging? No chance. Doesn't smash bodies out of the way when running with the ball and in defence it usually comes from borderline shoulder charges/high tackles.
Singleton bounced off O'Loughlin and not sure what he did to himself but I'd put it down to O'Loughlin injury plagued body failing him than Singleton running in like a headless chicken. Possibly looks like an accidental knee from Singleton into O'Loughlin thigh, not what I'd call proper damaging not in the Leuluai rattle their bones way.
9 carries for 50m is also very poor from a starting prop and he needs to be doing way more. When Garbutt has started this year he's more often than not crossed the 100m mark and he damages some people when running at them.
